Academy Silver Gatekeeper

137 – Let’s Talk – 2

It’ll be okay, right? Okay. It will be fine. No way, I’m going to fight in the hospital.

Originally, I heard that it was right for women to solve problems through conversation.

Of course, there is nothing to worry about.

I’m still dying of anxiety. Could it be that the roof suddenly collapses?

But I tried to reassure myself once again that it would be okay.

Irina is a crazy woman, but that’s mostly limited to villains.

Sometimes that madness breaks out in other people too…

It can be said that it is a hundred or a thousand times better than doing it to a villain.

So, as long as Soohyun does it properly, I won’t cross the line.

‘The problem is that Su-hyeon is also a strong woman…’

When I think about the blackened red witch, I can’t help but feel uneasy.

Also, the place you go to is the rooftop. It’s not even a garden.

Should I go now? Should I chase after it before it gets too big?

Irina and Suhyeon too. Both of them are a bit far from ‘normal’…

Rattling―.

“Oh. I woke up. Examiner Baek Seo-jin. But, where are you trying to go?”

The person who opened the hospital room door and appeared was none other than Ma Hak-jun.

Han Ji-yoon followed behind, carrying something in both hands.

“Dean. Are you here? Jiyoon too.”

“Okay. But where are you going? “Are you going to the bathroom at least?”

“Ah… Well, since I was stuck in bed, I wanted to get some fresh air for a moment… “Kkeekgeung!”

At that moment, I felt a tingling pain in my leg.

It hurt so much that I spoke an alien language without even realizing it.

“Where are you going like this? “I’m lying down quietly.”

Han Ji-yoon pressed my leg once and forced me to sit on the bed.

Then she clicked her tongue and started pointing to her legs and arms.

“Even though he was healed by a person with special abilities and even received hospital treatment, the attacker was none other than Hyun Soo-jin. Because I was directly exposed to S-class magic, my body is not normal right now. Absolutely stable! “Don’t you know?”

I know. Absolutely stable. But, would you believe me if I told you that you have never been calm, Mr. Jiyoon?

During the five days I was here, I was harassed by Irina.

What a shame, I couldn’t sleep at night and was holding on to my pants.

“Look at this. My eyes are still sunken in. Even if you feel frustrated, don’t think about moving and just rest.”

That’s because of Irina.

“Professor Han Ji-yoon is right. Stability is absolutely essential now. “Moving just a few days after fighting an S-class will never have a good effect on your body.”

Even Ma Hak-jun came forward and there was nothing I could do anymore.

Irina, and Suhyeon. Please just talk calmly and come.

“… By the way, Irina. Where did this guy go?”

In response to Han Ji-yoon’s question, I pointed to the hospital room door.

It means that I already left here before you guys came.

Han Ji-yoon must have realized this and sighs in bewilderment, saying, ‘Haa?’.

“You were poisoned by a mole and even had Kwak Hyeok spear hit in your stomach, and you left the hospital without a problem?”

“Yes. You looked very lively.”

After hearing what I said, Han Ji-yoon expressed her feelings in just one word.

“You’re crazy.”

I agree. I think she’s definitely a crazy woman.

“No, it’s a miracle that he survived, even though he got hit by Kwak Hyeok’s spear and got a hole in his stomach. Are you saying you got poisoned by a mole there and walked around like that? “Doesn’t that mean he has brain damage?”

Hey. I almost burst out laughing. Brain damage.

I had no idea that kind Han Ji-yoon would say something like that.

How much did you have to suffer from Irina to say something like that?

What’s even funnier is that even Ma Hak-jun, who was next to him, had a serious expression on his face.

The point was that he was nodding his head at Han Ji-yoon’s mention of brain damage.

“Dean. Should I ask you to do the test again?”

“Done. The doctors would have taken care of it. “This is not some local hospital.”

“Irina’s body is a bit unusual, so she needs to be tested several times. You never know. There may have been confirmed brain damage, but it could have been overlooked and not.”

Han Ji-yoon, who spoke up to that point, eagerly sets out the items she bought next to her.

I just came with both hands full of flowers, fruits, and drinks.

“How is your body?”

Ma Hak-jun, sitting next to the bed, asks about my health with calm eyes.

“It’s okay. “The wound is almost completely healed, except that the injured area is a bit sore.”

“That’s because, like Professor Han Ji-yoon said, I was directly exposed to magical power. It will fade over time. Of course, until then, absolute stability is essential. “I also avoid activities.”

“All right. Me and…”

“Don’t worry about the academy. “I said I would take a break from rating review for a while.”

It was Ma Hak-jun who understood exactly what I was worried about.

I was going to ask how the grade review would be done while I was away.

It seemed that appropriate measures had already been taken before coming to the hospital.

“The students will be okay, right?”

“Of course it’s okay. Rather, it worked out well. Because students also need some time.”

A moment?

“Isn’t it true that people who run as hard as they can can’t run straight? “I need to catch my breath for a moment.”

I feel a little relieved after hearing Ma Hak-jun’s words.

If this veteran can say, ‘I ran as hard as I could.’

At least it means that the academy students worked very hard.

“… What happened to Hyun Soo-jin? Did you catch him by any chance?”

“Unfortunately, I haven’t caught it yet.”

The answer came from the mouth of Han Ji-yoon, who was standing next to Ma Hak-jun.

“Of course, I didn’t miss it completely like last time. “I found traces.”

“What if it’s a trace?”

“A government figure kidnapped that day. She was someone that Irina had to protect, but her enemies were so strong that Irina had no choice but to give up in the end. “I found him just this morning.”

The enemies’ attacks were too strong. So you gave up because you had no choice?

Well. It seems to me that they just intentionally ignored it because it was not a hindrance to the fight.

Well, there’s no need to tell you this. Let’s keep our mouths shut.

“He died?”

If I had risked everything that day, I could have caught Hyun Soo-jin.

Instead, the injury would have been much more serious than it is now.

Hyun Soo-jin must have desperately resisted to escape somehow.

In the worst case, one of the two could have died.

But that very day, I took a step back.

In that split second, Hyun Soo-jin was able to run away with the man.

‘Why did he do that?’

When I think about it, I still don’t really know why.

I stepped back and missed Hyun Soo-jin, and other innocent people could have died as a result.

Originally, it was right to see it to the end, even if it meant considering the safety of others.

But it didn’t. No, I guess it’s true that I couldn’t do that.

Perhaps, without realizing it, I harbored similar anger to Hyun Soo-jin.

Those who committed unethical acts and ran away without taking any responsibility.

It seems that I closed my eyes as my first and last anger towards him.

So, if that man died, it would ultimately be partly my fault…

“No. It didn’t die. Well, instead, I will have to receive treatment at a psychiatric clinic for a very long time.”

“He’s not dead?”

“Yes. It’s strange. Hyun Soo-jin is not such a merciful person. “To top it off, I even looked through the man’s body to see if he had done something suspicious.”

But in the end, nothing came out of the man’s body.

Really, it just saved my life. Jiyoon Han finished speaking with a sullen expression.

“Hyun Soo-jin wasn’t a malicious person from the beginning, right?”

“Stop talking about the past. And he said it with his own mouth. That it will never go back to how it was before. He says he will be a villain until he dies. “It’s strange that a woman like that saved my life.”

What kind of trick are you planning on doing that? Jiyoon Han touches her chin.

I briefly sensed something strange in that appearance and asked a question.

Do you know why Hyun Soo-jin kidnapped that man?

“I don’t know. “As soon as we rescued him, the government immediately took him away.”

… I see Then, it’s still Ma Hak-jun and Han Ji-yoon.

You don’t know what happened to Hyun Soo-jin or why he became a traitor.

‘Should I say it now?’

I thought about opening my lips and telling the truth. But I quit soon.

If they knew the truth, they would desperately try to stop Hyun Soo-jin.

But Hyun Soo-jin doesn’t want anyone to stop her.

All she wants is revenge. That’s it.

If they face each other in that state, the end cannot be beautiful.

‘Later. A little later. Let’s talk then.’

I didn’t tell Hyun Soo-jin, but I also hope they get the punishment they deserve.

And I hope that by finally securing decisive evidence, Hyun Soo-jin will reveal everything.

That’s really what Hyun Soo-jin wants, a requiem for her own fiancé.

Plus, although I still don’t remember.

He survived that hell with me and ultimately lost his life.

It was also for the family that was once like me, perhaps the only one to me.

“… By the way, aren’t Irina’s parents coming?”

I slowly changed the topic. This is something I was curious about.

Even if I say that, I am an orphan with no parents or relatives.

Both of Irina’s parents are alive and well.

They say my daughter is seriously injured and is in the hospital.

Other people are coming like this too, so how can you not see them?

“I met Irina’s parents a few times. Do this every time Irina gets hurt. “If you see the face of a daughter who does not value the body her parents gave her and uses it like that, you’re going to want to slap her on the back or something her?”

“… Really?”

“Of course you’re joking. The real reason is for protection. Irina’s parents are both incompetent. Perhaps. It would be a big problem if a crazy villain were to target it. So we have to have a huge number of security guards, but the two of you feel burdened and don’t go out much.”

Well then. No matter how much of a troublemaker your daughter is, you can’t do that.

Even though they say that on the outside, they will be burning black on the inside.

He said that all parents’ feelings are like that.

Knock-

“I guess I’ll go in.”

The voice heard beyond the door was Kang Min-seong.

“Examiner Baek Seo-jin.”

“Chairman.”

Kang Min-seong looks around me as soon as he enters the hospital room.

And then huh? He sighs and comes to the side.

“You. Did you not see Suhyun? While briefly meeting and exchanging greetings with acquaintances, he said he would go to the hospital room first and went up. “Why can’t I see you in the hospital room?”

Oh, that’s it. They are probably having a conversation right now.

Than Chairman. You probably have something to talk about with me.

“President. Please sit down for a moment.”

I used it thinking it was a special move, but I almost ended up getting a special move too.
